What ATR-ASAHI does
ATR-ASAHI Process System (P) Ltd is an India-based industrial engineering firm headquartered in Vadodara, Gujarat, that designs, manufactures, and supplies custom borosilicate glass process equipment and turnkey chemical plants. The company was established in 2004 as a joint venture with Asahi Glassplant Inc., Japan, and uses imported Schott Duran Borosilicate 3.3 glass — combined with exotic materials such as tantalum, silicon carbide, and PTFE — to fabricate corrosion-resistant reactors, evaporators, distillation columns, heat exchangers, Nutsche filters, pipelines, valves, and complete process plants for acid concentration, gas absorption, HCL generation, bromine recovery, and sodium hypochlorite production. ATR-ASAHI complements its glass portfolio with stainless steel equipment, laboratory automation systems using BECKHOFF/SIEMENS hardware, and emerging technologies such as Nano Particle Reaction Synthesis and Solid Phase Peptide Synthesizers (SPPS).
The company serves pharmaceutical manufacturers (Troikaa Pharma, IPCA Labs), chemical and specialty chemical producers (Heranba Organics), and government defense customers (Ordnance Factory Nalanda), with delivered systems supporting API synthesis, kilo labs, pilot plants, and production-scale chemical processing under GMP and ISO requirements. A technical collaboration with Studio Tecnico Ambrosi, Italy extends the company's capabilities into energetic materials and acid purification.
ATR-ASAHI generates revenue through one-time sales of custom-engineered equipment and turnkey process plants delivered with performance guarantees, supplemented by professional services covering design, engineering, installation, commissioning, and after-sales support, and by laboratory automation hardware sales. The go-to-market is direct sales-led, supported by enquiry-based website engagement, LinkedIn presence, and a channel partnership with Solution Engineering Malaysia to distribute SOLTEQ educational equipment in India. The customer base spans more than 100 enterprises across India and export markets including Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
